Beschreibung
With the Vantage V550, introduced in 1992, Aston Martin provided a second lease and a welcome boost in power to the ageing V8 whose design had started in 1965. The 5. 3 litre engine was equipped with two Eaton compressors resulting in an impressive 550 hp (with earth-moving torque), which were transmitted to the De Dion rear axle via a 6-speed manual gearbox. The car offered was completed on 31st of October 1995 and delivered to Germany where it was first registered in January 1996. Little of the V550’s history is known until, in 2007, it was acquired, most probably in Monaco, and imported into Switzerland in August 2008, then showing 35’000 kilometres. In the following years the Aston Martin formed part of a Swiss collection and was regularly maintained by Roos engineering. In October 2014, then showing 41’000 kilometres, the powerful GT changed ownership again and was added to the vendor’s collection. As one of only 239 examples built, with matching numbers and now 43’500 kilometres showing, and a complete service booklet, this Vantage V550 is in very good and lovingly maintained original condition. The car will be sold with its last MOT dating from April 2022 and its last service completed in May 2022.
Asking price: CHF 240'000
